The Ethics of Political Compromise in Deeply Divided Societies

Quick fact

In deeply divided societies, compromise is often seen as betrayal—yet research suggests that negotiated settlements that include adversaries are more likely to lead to lasting peace than military victory.

Why this is interesting

Why do we condemn a politician for compromising with the enemy, yet praise another for forging a peace deal? The difference lies in the ethics of compromise itself.
